When you move your loved ones into a nursing home, you have every right to expect their needs will be met by a professional staff who is committed to meeting a certain standard of care. Unfortunately, the staff at many senior care facilities are overworked, leading to substandard treatment, which can cause serious injuries or even death. Reed Law Offices, injury attorneys serving clients throughout Omaha, recommend keeping an eye out for these potential signs of nursing home neglect.

Identifying neglect may be difficult, especially when many senior citizens can't communicate effectively, but contact a nursing home abuse attorney if you notice: 

• Sudden & Unexplained Weight Loss: Poor nutrition or dehydration may indicate that the staff is not providing the assistance your loved one may need to eat, but the facility's food could also be substandard.
• Bedsores: These often mean your loved one is not moved as often as they should be, leading to pain and discomfort.
• Personality Changes: As their physical needs go unmet, many seniors withdraw from their fellow patients and even family members. If your loved ones undergo sudden behavioral changes, they may not be getting the level of engagement they need.

The nursing home neglect attorneys at Reed Law Offices are dedicated to making sure your family members receive the compensation they deserve for your injuries. If you suspect that someone you love has been neglected by nursing home staff, you can depend on this experienced team to launch a thorough investigation and fight to make sure justice is served.
